2 Cooks in the Kitchen

Matthew and Kelly Cook provide easy to follow recipes, complete with videos, for many delicious dishes that will impress your family and friends. Many dishes are naturally gluten free and others can be made gluten free with simple substitutions.

When the 2 Cooks are out of the kitchen we can be found hiking in our local Redwood Forests or traveling in search of good food and drink. Recent travels include Hawaii, Puerto Vallarta, Sayulita and the Oaxaca Coast in Mexico as well as trips east across the Southwestern US and north up the Pacific Coast to Seattle, WA.

We have all our cooking videos on our Youtube Channel as 2 Cooks in the Kitchen. We have also made videos of our travel adventures which often include culinary tourism and cooking in other cultures. Matthew has had a lengthy career as a musician in Hawaii and Humboldt County, California and our Youtube channel also contains Matthew’s music videos.
